Overview
Yiming Lin, a beloved online personality, took to America’s open roads in search of that answer.
Made in America brings together the recipes Yiming gathered traveling more than 10,000 miles across all 50 states, eating with home cooks and those who own local restaurants to find out what Americans are really cooking and eating today. The recipes he adapted include:
- Breakfast: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Scallion Pancakes (Brooklyn), Masa Biscuits (East Austin), Grits Carbonara (New Orleans).
- Sandwiches: Bánh Mì Grilled Cheese (Salem, MA), Somali Philly Cheesesteak (Burlington, VT )
- Noodles: Bò Kho Pappardelle (Honolulu), Seaweed Butter Noodles (San Francisco), Jerk Chicken Lo Mein (Philadelphia)
- Meat and Fish: Coconut Risotto with Shrimp & Mushrooms (Sioux Falls), Za’aatar Chicken Milanese (Kansas City, MO)
- Desserts: Chai Cheesecake (Des Moines) Apple Cider Tres Leches (Oklahoma City)
Yiming relied on word of mouth and the kindness of strangers as he drove, wrote, and cooked. Made in America captures not just the spirit of that journey, but also the spirit of simple culinary ingenuity.
